I have just finished making an update to Narrows on Team Slayer. Now, there are two overshields, two sniper rifles, two power drainers, one rocket launcher, one bubble shield, and one mauler respawn timer. I’m still not 100% sure about the actual times on the timers, so could you please confirm that they are all right.

Thanks, NoSkiLLx!

I also wanted to invite our visitors to participate in the FPSBuddy community on our forum. We have what looks to be the start of a great community and it is only going to get better. Hope to see you on there.

Well, the Cold Storage respawn times are now available. Use the form above to try it out! I am not sure what’s going on in this map for MLG, so let me know if there’s something that needs to be added for that.

Thanks to Evolved once again. You rock!

Hey guys. I’m really happy to see everyone pitching in and helping me gather the various times. Big thanks go out to Evolved and Bus7er for this update.

Here’s what I accomplished today on the Halo timer:

MLG:

Mauler added on Guardian, The Pit, Narrows
Battle Rifle added on Construct, The Pit, Narrows
Carbine added on Construct

New Timers! Plasma Pistol, Frag Grenade, and Plasma Grenade.
Plasma Pistol added on The Pit
Frag grenades added on Guardian, Construct, The Pit, Narrows
Plasma grenades added on Guardian, Construct, The Pit, Narrows

Keep the submissions coming in! Next update: Cold Storage!

Today has been a busy day for FPSBuddy. First, I found out that people couldn’t register for the forum. Turned out to be a template issue, which means the time I spent skinning the other template is pretty much down the drain. But at least people can register now. Why haven’t you registered yet?

Also, I just made an insane amount of changes to the MLG profiles. A helpful FPSBuddy community member, Bus7er, tipped me off that a lot of the MLG times were wrong, with some good information on what is supposed to be where. (Bus7er is also credited with pointing out the forum registration problem! Thanks!!)

Here’s the short list of what was changed in the MLG profiles:
Removed “MLG on Xbox Live” selection, you can use “MLG” for both online and offline play.
Invisibility is now only on Guardian MLG, and the timer was changed to 2:00
Overshield is now only on The Pit MLG, and the timer was changed to 2:00
Removed OS and INV on maps that don’t have them.
MLG Mauler time is now 2:00
MLG Battle Rifle now respawns at :10
MLG Carbines spawn at 1:30

We still need more info on what weapons appear on which maps in Halo 3! Any small tip is greatly appreciated. Submit them here.

Good news! After much avail, four crappy forum scripts, and two days later, I got the forum going. It’s not fully skinned yet, but it’ll do for now. Go ahead and make an account and introduce yourself to the FPSBuddy community.

I will soon be disabling the contact form, and all submissions should be done at the Forum. This way, if someone submits an incorrect time, it’ll be hopefully caught by a forum member before it goes live.

Also, there’s a new feature (also free) coming to FPSBuddy soon. I can’t say exactly what it is, but I can say that it’s pretty frickin sweet. More to come later. Here’s a hint: it’s also for Halo 3.

Well, have at it. Enjoy the fruits of my labor

Jordan Adania just submitted a few more times for Foundry on Team Slayer. 90 second Sniper, 120 second Shotgun, 120 second Rockets, 60 second BR, and 60 second Power Drainer respawns. The profile has been updated. Thanks again!

Earlier today, someone named Loren wrote in with a good suggestion:

Hey your timer is great. I have a suggestion to help improve it. would it be possible to have some sort of background image. maybe changeable ones so people can still keep the orignal look if they want. I find that when im playing and useing this, the massive white sceen is a little distracting.

Great idea. I’m hoping that it’s possible. The white background is probably WAY too bright, especially for people who play in the dark. I have some ideas on how to do this, so I’ll be keeping that in mind and I’ll try to implement something like that after I get the forum working. Kudos for the idea.

I still haven’t had a chance to grab Cold Storage, and I may not be able to tonight, so if anyone wants to submit some respawn times for the new map, please use this form. Thanks!

Kerry Snyder of Pittsburgh submitted the following tip:

Invis on guardian mlg is 3 minutes like on the pit.

Thanks, Kerry! This time has been updated. Keep the submissions coming in!

All sword, shotgun, and turret timers have been removed from the MLG gametype profiles. Sorry about that.

Thanks to Jordan Adania for the heads up. Anyone else got a tip for us? Submit it at our contact form. We will have a forum soon for discussions about what should/shouldn’t be appearing in the different profiles.

Thanks for using FPSBuddy.

Due to a variety of reasons, we have decided to make our Halo 3 Respawn Timer tool completely free to our end users (you!). Here’s why we did this:

• An obvious backlash from our potential customers. It seems that a majority of people in our target market did not appreciate us asking for subscription fees. This feeling was one that we never wanted convey, and we created this tool to make people happy (by getting more wins in Halo 3!).
• To ensure that our Halo 3 Respawn Timer remains the most full-featured and highest quality respawn timer available, it will require help from the FPSBuddy community. We are a very small team of developers, and we simply do not have the manpower to do it all ourselves.
• More users - By making our Halo 3 Spawn Times Tracker 100%, this will attract a much higher amount of end-users, making FPSBuddy.com a better community.

Well, that’s pretty much it. All current Halo 3 Respawn Timer Subscriptions will be cancelled within the next 24 hours. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.

Thanks for taking time to read this. We hope you enjoy the new, completely free Halo 3 Respawn Timer.

Bungie recently announced some great news concerning the release of Cold Storage, a remake of my favorite map, Chill Out, from Halo 1. The FPSBuddy team couldn’t be more excited.

FPSbuddy users - Please note that I will do what it takes to get the respawn times for Cold Storage as soon as is humanly possible. I am planning to have the map available on both the free and pay versions of the Halo 3 Respawn Timer by midnight of July 7th. I am hoping to get it done earlier.

Well, that’s pretty much it for now. Can’t wait til’ Cold Storage comes out!

Thank you for taking time to visit FPSBuddy. Basically, FPSBuddy is a site with tools for competitive FPS players.

Our first product, the Halo 3 Respawn Timer, allows you to track weapon, item, powerup, and vehicle respawns in Halo 3. It works on PC, Mac, and Windows Mobile devices. It has been featured on halo.bungie.org along with many other Halo fan sites. Our Halo Timer also works with many different gametypes, like Lone Wolves, Team Slayer, Big Team Battle, and even MLG. It is currently the most full-featured and reliable spawn timer available for Halo 3.

The free version of our Halo 3 Respawn Timer allows unlimited use of the Lone Wolves gametype, while the pay version adds MLG, Team Slayer, and Big Team Battle acccess for only $3.99/month.

We are currently working on a new tool for Halo 3 players, and it should be available in the next few weeks. More details to come.
